Research with a Skeptical Attitude

Conduct your research with the attitude of a skeptic. As you examine websites for clues that proves them to be trustworthy, ask yourself these questions:

·        Who published the web page? If you can’t identify the individual or organization responsible for the information, don’t use it.

·        What are the author’s qualifications for writing on the subject?

·        Has the article passed through an editorial process to ensure quality and accuracy?

·        What is the websites purpose? Identify motives --- such as selling products or winning votes for an election --- that could result in biased or incomplete/ misleading information.

·        Is the information accurate? Has it been updated?

·        What are the author’s sources for reference?

“Be always sure you’re right, then go ahead.”
Davy Crockett

This quote expresses the concept of reassurance of ones decisions. You should always be sure of your decision and be able to justify your motive for any action that you are about to commit. Many have their own definition of a correct action, but should understand if others see it as correct. Many fail to recognize the beneficial and correct aspect of their motive. For example, if a boy hit another boy and is punished and when asked for his motive he tells the teacher/ caretaker that the boy took his pencil will that really justify for his violent action? I believe an action should be correct and not done for the benefit of one sole person, but should be beneficial for many.

“Tell me what is right and I will fight for it.”
Woodrow Wilson

This is an amazing quote by Woodrow Wilson. This quote describes invigorated activists who would assertively ask for change that many will benefit from and that is correct. This quote is not inferring that those who want change should physically engage in conflict, but should rather assertively propose and defend their cause. When confronting an issue you are never supposed to use any force on any obstacle that arises, but if you should take action then you should be ready to justify the motive of your actions.

“Choosing the Right is always the right thing to do.” Alex Linares

I agree with this statement from my teacher’s former student. Is it better to do what is right or what is wrong? Many of us rationalize our motives for the choices we make either lying to your friend or doing your homework in class, but we never realize that every moment we are committing these wrong actions we do not understand the severity of our actions, but we are not blind to our wrong doing we know when we commit wrong actions we just choose to do nothing about it. We must abide by the rules that let us prosper. If you encounter a rule that you believe improper you still have to abide by it or ask city officials to either disband or change the law, but we cannot choose to ignore it. When you “Choose the Wrong” you are smearing a stain on your morale and not doing the correct thing therefore your sense/ perspective of judgment is terrible, but if you “Choose the Right” your sense of judgment is morally good.
